Strength in Student Advocacy: Improving a Liberal Arts OER Initiative Through a Student-Library Partnership

This session will feature both student and librarian perspectives on Lafayette College’s OER and Textbook Affordability Initiative. We will discuss the initiative’s beginnings, the impact it has had at Lafayette to date, and how we hope to grow in the future. Particular emphasis will be placed on efforts underway to gauge students’ impressions of OER at the college and the ways in which students and librarians are working together to improve affordability outcomes for Lafayette undergraduates.
